  • The journal follows a traditional double-blinded peer-review system. Submissions are allocated to an Associate Editor who oversees its peer review. Two anonymised reviewers are invited to review the film and make their recommendation based on the film’s merits. Films do not have to be ready-made perfect. Editors and reviewers are looking for originality and achievement within the film’s own project. The Editor will return a decision after consultation with the Associate Editor and reviewers’ reports.
